You can hate AI , LLMs etc. But this is interesting and funny. They are transparent about the usage of AI, which is already better than some AAA game company who tries to hide it. Obviously this is just a proof of concept and they probably learned something about OS design

How much scratch? It's hard to believe they wrote device drivers, ip stack, codecs etc from scratch
Edit: there's doom on the task bar !?!
I'd take OG doom being bundled with the OS and forever pinned to the taskbar over whatever Windows has been doing with candy crush tbh
No no, you misunderstand. No FROM scratch. IN scratch.
oh god no, cs teacher made us use this thing even though most of us could already write code. it was painful
It's likely like the exFAT driver for FreeBSD, which was just a regeneration of the Linux exFAT driver, thus broke license terms.
There's a Doom button on the task bar. I imagine it doesn't work
It looks like they ginned them up from relevant specs they stuffed in and and the model's latent knowledge of QEMU VirtIO and the absurd GPU-managed system architecture that is the Pi.
The models have seen several IP stacks before, plus many copies of the Linux, BSD, etc. source trees.
It's not actually hard to write a network stack, just tedious.
At some point in the USB keyboard/mouse code the model has loudly proclaimed PRINTF NOT ALLOWED, in the style it does when overcompensating after its obvious mistakes are pointed out to it for the third time. So I suspect that part might be implemented by brute force.
Unfortunately, the talking horse's OS hasn't bothered with syscalls and lacks any notion of memory protection, and has a terrible userspace API which e.g. puts waiting for a ping response entirely in kernel.
* Programs call kernel functions directly - no syscalls needed.
* Win3.1 style!
Usually people don't manage to produce an entire operating system without knowing why this is a bad idea.

10/10, no notes.
It's honest and I respect that.
This thing must have been a nightmare to code... I use LLMs nearly daily for work, and their tendency for generating garbage is so strong i have to double check every answer and reestate my rules every time. Their memory isn't worth shit for more complex tasks.
Thats the fun part. Don't double check. Push to prod.
did you try opus 4.5? you still need to review the output etc, but it's way way better than gpt 4.1. It also costs a lot more...
I normally use sonnet 4.5 and haiku for quick, simple or repetitive tasks; opus eats away all my tickets in days, if i turned on extra tokens i would go bankrupt in one week
So Windows 11?
Windows ME
Text editor probably needs 4 GHz CPU and eight cores.
“Motherfuckingwebsite.com one of the few pages that can be rendered by the VibeOS browser” 😂😂
I just hope this person will never be in charge of anyones safety.
That one is funny. And somewhat interesting project to see limits of LLMs. There is another project called vibeos at https://vibeos.sh/ which is, more disgusting than anything I guess.
I'm migrating immediately! All in!
How is operating system that needs an operating system to run, is an operating system?
QEMU is not an OS but a Quick EMUlator. Its a way to run software in another ISA then what your hardware supports. If its ARM64 based then you could run it on ARM64 hardware.
My bad, I was apparently thinking of another emulator on windows with somewhat similar name
Kill it with fire.
Nah, this is some rando's slop OS. I would never use it but it's whatever.
The real "kill it with fire" VibeOS is this homonymous monstrosity, which supposedly lets Claude Code control everything in your computer 😆
It appears to be missing the one thing a operating system needs: it's own kernel.
Glorious

Perfect.
what did the poor duck do to be stuck in this cyber-swamp?
